Thanks, Hillary! You're good. I'll have to pick up that CD.

Cool!

EDIT: Just did some research using your info, and found out the cut is from the KPM library, FWIW. Screen Attractions owns some KPM tracks, but I don't have that title in my selection pool.

The origins of KPM go back to 1780 when the instrument maker, Robert Keith, set up shop in London's Rathbone Place. By 1830 the business had expanded into music publishing and a partnership formed with William Prowse.

After the turn of the century retail outlets were opened selling theatre tickets, instruments, music and eventually records.

In 1955, with the advent of commercial television in the UK, the music publishing department became a separate company and was acquired by Rediffusion. The following year saw the setting up of the original KP library under the management of Patrick Howgill. The first twenty-five 78 rpm records were recorded with a budget of £5,000.

In 1959 the library merged with Peter Maurice Publishing to form the new KPM Music Group.

In 1965 Robin Phillips launched the KPM 1000 series introducing writers from jazz, pop and other contemporary fields. It encapsulated a golden age of British television theme music including Animal Magic, Grandstand, Mastermind and News at Ten.

The KPM Music Group was taken over by EMI in 1969 but the international standing of the library was such that the distinctive KPM name was retained.

In 1984 KPM produced the first library music to be released on Compact Disc.
